Patent number: 10059988Abstract: Devices and methods that can detect and control an individual polymer in a mixture is acted upon by another compound, for example, an enzyme, in a nanopore are provided. The devices and methods also determine (˜>50 Hz) the nucleotide base sequence of a polynucleotide under feedback control or using signals generated by the interactions between the polynucleotide and the nanopore. The invention is of particular use in the fields of molecular biology, structural biology, cell biology, molecular switches, molecular circuits, and molecular computational devices, and the manufacture thereof.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2012Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIAInventors: Mark A. Akeson, David W. Deamer, Seico Benner, William B. Dunbar, Noah A. Wilson, Kathy Lieberman, Robin Abu-Shumays, Nicholas Hurt

Patent number: 8314209Abstract: The invention herein disclosed provides for methods for the synthesis of polymers from monomers. In particular the method provides for the synthesis of polynucleotides from mononucleotides in the absence of catalytic enzymes. The method comprises providing an aqueous solution having a plurality of phospholipid molecules and monomer molecules; subjecting the aqueous solution to fluctuating temperature conditions; subjecting the aqueous solution to fluctuating cycles of drying and hydrating conditions; subjecting the aqueous solution to fluctuating [H+] conditions; the fluctuating conditions thereby allowing formation of a chemical bond between at least two monomers to create a polymer. The invention is of particular use in the fields of molecular biology, structural biology, cell biology, molecular switches, molecular circuits, and molecular computational devices, and the manufacture thereof.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2008Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Sudha Rajamani, Felix Olasagasti, David W.
